Same clock, remote setup
New York and Fort Lauderdale are both on US Eastern Time, so calls, reviews and launches happen inside your normal working day. I don't have an office in New York; the work runs remotely, as most Shopify work does.
Many brands already have an in-house team, a designer or an agency. I can work alongside them: building from your designer's Figma files, taking on the architecture and the harder technical pieces, and leaving code your team can maintain.
What remote work looks like
No time difference
We're both on Eastern Time.
Fits your team
Work alongside an in-house developer, a designer or an agency.
Clean handoff
Version control, development themes and documentation for anything custom.
Working alongside your team
How I keep shared work safe
Agree the plan first
The architecture plan says who builds what, which apps stay and which go, so nobody duplicates work.
Never edit the live theme
Changes happen on a development or duplicated theme. Duplicating a theme takes seconds; losing a working live theme costs sales.
Version control
Changes go through Git, ideally with Shopify's GitHub integration, so your team can see what changed and roll back.
Document what's custom
Functions, extensions and integrations come with notes on what they do and who owns them.
The store behind the storefront
Build around how your customers shop.
A Shopify project is more than a new homepage. Your catalog, navigation, product pages, cart, and operations need to work together. I start with what you sell, how customers choose, and where your team spends time working around the store.
Whether you sell from one city or serve customers across several regions, the scope starts with your store and customers. A focused review can help separate a theme problem from a product-content gap, an integration issue, or a process that needs to change.
01 · Product discovery
Help shoppers find the right product
Plan collections, navigation, search, and filters around the questions customers bring to your catalog. Product attributes, variants, and merchandising should make choices clearer on mobile as well as desktop.
02 · Buying confidence
Make product pages do more of the work
Bring the information customers need into the buying journey: product details, variant selection, delivery information, and clear next steps. Review the path from product page to cart for confusing interactions and missing context.
03 · Shopify architecture
Choose a store structure your team can maintain
Define reusable theme sections, product data, and app responsibilities before adding more code. For a migration or rebuild, map the catalog, existing URLs, content, and integration dependencies before deciding what to carry forward.
04 · Ecommerce operations
Connect the storefront to what happens after purchase
Map how inventory, orders, fulfillment, email, and reporting fit into the store. Identify manual handoffs and overlapping apps, then agree which connections belong in the project and how to test them.
A practical plan for your next Shopify project
Start with the business problem, agree on a manageable scope, and check the buying journey before launch.
Understand the store
Share your store URL, what you sell, and the problem you want to solve. For an existing store, useful context includes customer questions, operational friction, and the data you already have.
Choose what to change first
Decide whether the next step is an audit, a focused improvement, or a larger build. Document the theme, app, content, and integration decisions so the scope is clear before implementation.
Review the complete journey
Check collection browsing, product selection, cart behavior, and the relevant checkout and order handoffs. Include mobile use and the tasks your team needs to manage after launch.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you need to visit our office?
No. Shopify work runs in the store admin, the code and development themes, so it works remotely. I'm based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and don't have an office in your city.
Can you work with our existing agency or developer?
Yes. I can take on architecture, checkout and integration work while your team keeps the day-to-day theme work, or the other way round.
Do you do design?
I focus on architecture and development. I can build from your designer's Figma files, work alongside your designer, or handle UX and layout myself using your brand guidelines.
